PHILOSOPHY: COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY
Purpose
To collect, manage and provide access to library materials to support the academic and research interests of the Department of Philosophy.
DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY: http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/Philosophy/
Undergraduate majors and minors are offered as well as a master's degree program. Three concentrations are available to undergraduate philosophy majors: general philosophy; philosophy and religion; and philosophy, science, and technology. The curriculum encourages a broad liberal arts background, including courses in foreign languages and a plan for graduate school and teaching careers in philosophy. Philosophy majors sometimes also major in other disciplines. Master’s students can specialize in applied ethics, particularly animal welfare and environmental ethics, comparative philosophy, and the traditional subfields of philosophy. Environmental ethics and materials at the undergraduate level for religions across curriculums are both of importance.
